Coming Soon: "Green IT for Dummies"

Server virtualization, PUE, The Green Grid; sometimes it seems as though the only way to properly explain green IT is to put it all in some drawn-out textbook. The good news is that this book is already on its way. Even better is the fact that it is hardly convoluted, titled very suitably, "Green IT for Dummies."

Written by four senior IT industry analysts -- Carol Baroudi, Jeffrey Hill, Arnold Reinhold, and Jhana Senxian -- the book will provide an objective overview of what green technology is, what problems it can (and can't) solve, and how businesses or organizations might go about planning and implementing green technology solutions.

"Computers, computerized networks and the digital information they process and convey link vital infrastructures, businesses, governments, health care, research and individuals. All these electronic elements together form the IT ecosystem," said Carol Baroudi, Research Director and "Green IT for Dummies" co-author. "As a huge, conspicuous consumer of power and other resources and a significant source of toxic emissions and hazardous waste, the entire IT ecosystem needs to be examined through the lenses of green and sustainability."
